ORDER OF Tr11.1 BATH RAS
BEEN REVIVED.
Stately Pageants Took Place in
Weatminster Abbey For
00 Years.
&t the- annsoaohing revival of the
ceremony of installation the most
honorable Order of the Bath will
again manif
eet its corporate exie-
..
tome after an interval of a cen-
tury'e duration, In 1725 King
Henry 1TII.'s chapel in Westmins-
ter Abbey was eenstitated the= cha-
lee' of the Order of the Bath, and
the stately pageants of that body
took place there for nearly 90
,
years, eay s the London Times.
The eurione in such matters will
elate well rewarded for their trouble
lirthey turn to the work of John
Pine, (3u-tit:tea The Proeeseion and
Ceremonies Observed at the Time
a the Installation of t,he Knight
Companione of the Most Honorable
Military Order of the Bath. This
is lavishly illustrated and provides
,
a very minute deee.ripaert of the
ArSt ceremony of the order as con-
stitnted under Getege I., and pea,
eibly may form, the basis for the
contemplated revival.

Ito aceolatle of a knight, which
Wit§ usually accompanied by the
= words "lii the name of God, Our
Lady and Saint George," is found
comparatively early, but whether
tine eeremony ie purely eceletiaati-
cal and symbolic in the origin is
perhaps open to doubt. In any
ease the elaborate ritual pros-
cribed for that° rite* by the star -
tette .of 1720 is omitted from those
of 1847.
The Order of the Bath,
according to some authorities, can-
not be exinsidered to have existed
in Buell a Way as did the Order of
lief
Garter until the reorganization
1725. Previous to this date
rights othe 'Bath were created
in eensiderable numbers, generally
on the oceasion of a eoranation and
but rarely at any other time. .M -
ter 1725 the eoetirtuity was more
frequently and also more sparingly
observed. In. 1812, owing to a de-
sire, to reward the great number of
ellicers of bah servieea who bad
won =distinctie)n during the late
wars, the appointment of extra
e knights was permitted, and in 1815
n the order was divided into three
i- classes, the then knights becoming
Y knights grand eross, while the new
e members of the order were distri-
buted among the two freshls formed
,e companies. On eleven different oc-
Fr easions eiece then the numbers of
a the three classes of knights com-
l. mender and classes have been aug-
mented.
s- The order is provided with the
ti necessary officers, eeelesiaetieal and
. heraldie, and it was the original in-
tention that Bath King of Arms
should have an heraldic jurisdiction
over "Wales similar to that enjoyed
by Norroy, King of Arms, over the
parts of England north of Trent.
The grant emeting this juriediotion
tit was however, held not to be good
in itew in face Of the privileges of
the existing kings of arms, whose
jurisdiction already ceenprised
Wales.

00 that King Edward, then P=rinee of
00 Wales, was appointed, and on his
00 zjecession to the throne, after a
vacancy of little more than a
00 mouth the reigning grand master,
00 the. Duke of _Connaught, was ap-
00 pointed. There is plenty of mater -
5 ' 1 for making of the revived in-
allation a very fineeceremony, for
•which Henry VIIes chapel at West -
Minster will provide a superb set-
ting: It is believed that great pains
are being taken with the hanners,
helmets and crests which are to re-
place their oxisting predecessors.

the unhappy practice of writing the

With Alfonso total abstinence is

Information differs widely in re-
gard to King George. It is some-
times stated =that he drinks only
milk, and it is true that he has
been seen partaking of this inno-
cent thirst -quencher, lint he does
occasionally take wine as well. Of
course, at one time in his youth he
was a hard drinker; in fact, it was
not until he married Queen Mary
that he mended his ways and set-
tled down. to nailde,r beverages. „

the cellars at Buckingham Palaee

Majesty was as particular about his
wines as about everything else. 1 -le

him the worse for liquor, and he
prided himself on being a great
judge of all food and drink. His
favorite hostessee were those who
gave him well-chosen meals with
just the right wines. Ile was not in
any sense of the word a gourmand,

ple rather admired him for it, just
as they secretly admired him for

totaler, and her favorite wine

Two Women, Ride Yaks Over Roof
Of the World.
One of the most extraordinary,
holiday trips ever undertaken by
women travelera was a ride aeross
"the roof of the world," that part
of the aimalayas which separates
India, from Eastern Turkestan. Two
English women Miss E. 0, Kemp
and Miss MeD'ougall, well known
as a Ohinese expleror,.were the her-
oines of the trip, winch they des-
cribed at the Lyeausn Club, Lon-
don,
The two set out in May of last
year and crossed mouttain passe
whieh never had been trod by 'wo-
men travelers. They met a saint of
Thibet, eon -versed with him and
made a, sketch of hint and told him
they visited manatteries filled with
figures of local saints and devils and
scrolls of Many colors.
With the smallest of caravans
these two women met the caravans
of sportsmen, large and elaborate
affairs, with long trains of ponies
bearing the heads of dead animals.
They discovered that the natives on
the road were as keen as the sports-
men themselves and that the sole
topic of native coaversation was the\
largest game bag.
In Leh they were received at the
king's Palace and provisioned -them-
selves for the meet arduous part of
their journey. They took with them
a cook, who, when at home in Leh,
was also a pillar of the church, a
surgeon's assistant, sportsman,
hymn writer and general handy
man. Four men servants, inter-
preters, eight ponies to carry tents
and two yaks—.the stately chargers
on which the women rode—complet-
ed the caravan. -
They started in the direction of
the Pangong Lake, noted for its
brilliant color, and ateended to a
height of 18,000 feet. For a month
they lived away from civilization.
They climbed glaziers and precipi-
tous mountains, forded dreaded riv-
ers and explored gorges that never
had known the thasence of white
women.
The way across these_heights was
streewn with carcasses of horses and
the perpetual symbol of death was
the raven. They suffered terribly
with headaches and adopted chlor-
ate of potash as a cure.
"Was it worth while?" they were
asked.
"Well," replied Miss Kemp, "I
think it was. There comes a time
in our lives when it as desire le to
broaden our interests. What struck
me there in those solitudes was the
wonderful solidarity of human na-
ture.
"We felt that we were all essenti-
ally one. I think it quickened our
perceptions; gave 'us a new poise
and a greater capacity to take a
broader view."

"Wedded to Gods.
Most o'f the dancing girls in India
belonging to the temples are called
the wives of the gods. At an early
age they are united in wedlock to
the images worshipped in the tem-
ples. This strange maerimonial
connection is formed iii compliance
with the v.-101es of the parents, who
believe it to be a highly meritorious
act to present a beautiful daughter
in inaeriage to a senseless idol.
